Comments on: 077/100 aka 217/365 https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=386 Flash Fiction by Susan Gibb Fri, 10 Mar 2023 03:47:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: susan https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=386#comment-396 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 12:52:00 +0000 http://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=386#comment-396 It’s funny, Marcus, but I also read my stuff later and find depth to it that I’d love to say I skillfully wrote into it. The cucumber here, if I chose to “close read” the story, could be the rather obvious metaphor as a penis, and the “seedless” could indeed mean the lack of children. His slicing it could be taken as with the death of his wife, he loses the opportunity, or perhaps he’s wondering if the future brings that fulfillment.

Someday when I’m old and my arthritic hands can no longer type out stories, I’ll close read all my work and find out where my head was at.
